A Man and a Woman Alone in a Room

Since he had accepted the commission.

Mu Yang naturally started to take action.

His priority was professionalism.

He arrived at the entrance of the Goethe Hotel.

And intended to go straight in.

He was stopped by a guard who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Cough, cough, I was just taking a nap, I didn't abandon my post."

"No, I misspoke."

"It should be, the Goethe Hotel has been booked by the Fatui delegation, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"

Mu Yang looked at him.

And shouted in a deep, commanding voice.

"Unauthorized personnel? Soldier! State your name!"

The Fatui guard was startled by the shout.

He stood at attention.

"Reporting, my name is Luke!"

Mu Yang: "Very good, Luke, go and call Anastasia.

I need to have a good talk with her about your duties as a guard."

Luke heard the name.

"Ambassador?!"

He didn't dare to delay, as it concerned his future.

He quickly ran inside to call for her.

This is just too unlucky.

Working diligently every day.

He only slacked off this one time.

And he was caught by a big shot.

No hard work, just a hard life!

System: "More drama? You really love to act..."

Mu Yang: "It's no fun to just break in."

Inside the Goethe Hotel.

Anastasia was assigning tasks to her subordinates.

According to "La Signora's" wishes.

They were to set Mondstadt ablaze.

The big guy next to her angrily pounded the conference table.

"Arrogant Mondstadters, daring to kill so many of our people."

"Hey, hey, be precise, suspected Mondstadters."

"Did your brain malfunction? That red-haired pyro claymore user, who else could it be but that annoying Diluc?"

According to the information sent back by the Debt Collector.

Three people and a pet had broken into the stronghold.

Two of them were wearing masks.

It could be inferred that the red-haired person was Diluc.

The blonde and the white pet were the Traveler who had just entered the city.

No information could be found about the white-haired one for now.

At this moment, the guard Luke burst into the operations conference room.

It was evident he had run in a hurry.

And was panting heavily.

"Haa, haa, Ambassador, a big shot is looking for you!"

Anastasia looked puzzled, "A big shot?"

"That's right, he specifically asked to speak with you, so I... I ran in."

Anastasia did not dare to delay.

And followed Luke towards the entrance.

He muttered to himself.

"A big shot? The Fatui Executives all have their own missions. The only one currently in charge of Mondstadt should be 'La Signora'."

"I haven't received any related notifications either."

She blamed Luke.

"Idiot, why didn't you bring the person in first?"

Luke remained silent.

"Uh... this..."

It was all his fault for being blind.

He had offended someone.

Opening the door.

Anastasia looked at the so-called big shot outside.

Wasn't it the swordsman Mu Yang who had threatened her that day?

White hair, right, white hair!

This was the fourth person who had infiltrated the stronghold!

Mu Yang said to the timid Luke.

"Alright soldier, at least you're not making excuses for your actions."

"I won't be harsh. You may withdraw."

Luke let out a long sigh of relief.

He saluted and left.

Anastasia was completely bewildered.

Huh?

After a moment of thought.

Damn it.

This foolish guard had been tricked!

She asked tentatively.

"What do you need?"

Mu Yang stated directly.

"I'm looking for 'La Signora'."

Upon hearing that Mu Yang was looking for 'La Signora'.

Anastasia smiled slightly.

Her attitude changed 180 degrees.

"Oh, you're here to see 'La Signora'? She's in her room. I'll lead the way for you."

Mu Yang followed behind her into the Goethe Hotel.

As they passed through the hotel lobby.

Anastasia, who was leading the way, suddenly whistled a few times.

It seemed like she was signaling something.

"Attack!"

Several figures rushed out from the shadows.

Attacking Mu Yang from all directions.

Anastasia was the closest to Mu Yang.

She pulled out the lantern unique to the Electro Cicin Mage.

And attacked Mu Yang.

Clang, clang, clang.

After a round of fighting.

The ground was littered with Fatui soldiers, all sprawled about.

Each of them was clutching a different part of their body.

"Ouch..."

Mu Yang used his sword sheath this time.

He didn't want to push 'La Signora' too hard.

He just wanted her to stop making trouble.

Anastasia led Mu Yang upstairs.

She covered her left cheek with her hand.

It had just been swollen by Mu Yang.

She could barely speak coherently now.

"Uh, this way."

Mu Yang saw that her arrogance had finally vanished.

"Why did you have to do that?"

"Oh, I was wrong. Thank you, sir, for sparing my life."

Anastasia opened the door to "La Signora's" private suite for Mu Yang.

Then she slipped away.

She didn't want to be alone with Mu Yang.

Anastasia had lied.

"La Signora" wasn't here.

She usually only returned at night.

She had just wanted to trick Mu Yang into the room and beat him up.

Then capture him to complete her task.

It was supposed to be an opportunity to earn merit with "La Signora."

Now, not only had she failed to capture Mu Yang, she had ended up being the guide.

And opening the room for Mu Yang.

She knew she was in for trouble.

Mu Yang looked at the room.

It was indeed luxurious.

But the decorations didn't seem to have much to do with "La Signora" herself.

She probably only returned here when she rested.

Mu Yang sat down on the sofa.

Waiting for "La Signora" to appear.

Not long after.

A fiery crimson crystal butterfly flew in through the room's window.

It then transformed into a tall, statuesque adult woman.

This was the eighth of the Fatui Harbingers—"La Signora."

Her true name was Rosalyne.

It was already nighttime.

Rosalyne didn't turn on the lights.

She fumbled for a while in the dim light from the window.

Then, with her back to the sofa, she began to change her clothes.

Seeing this, Mu Yang coughed lightly.

Signaling that what followed was not suitable for viewing.

"Cough, cough..."

Rosalyne stopped what she was doing.

"Heh, still an upright little rat."

She turned around.

Her arms crossed.

A hint of disdain hung on her lips.

She had sensed something was amiss as soon as she entered.

If Mu Yang had been watching intently, she would have taken him by surprise and ended his life.

At this moment, Mu Yang was leaning back on the sofa.

The light from outside obscured half of his face.

He was staring at Rosalyne.

That bad woman is indeed quite beautiful.

La Signora spoke.

"You killed so many of my people, and you still dare to show yourself before me?"

"Speak. I will listen to your last words."

The room's temperature suddenly spiked.

It seemed she intended to use fire against Mu Yang.

Mu Yang said.

"I hope you will cease your plans to sabotage Mondstadt's defenses."

La Signora let out a cold laugh.

"Those are last words, not wishes."

With that, several Fire Butterflies charged towards Mu Yang.

They were cleaved by Mu Yang's blade.

La Signora was a little surprised.

'Such a fast blade.'

Mu Yang told her.

"There's no need to make things so tense."

"I know your mission doesn't originally include engaging in a war of diplomacy with Mondstadt."

Mu Yang shifted his stance.

"Your mission is the Anemo God's Gnosis."

La Signora's pupils dilated in shock.

This was a secret mission from Her Majesty the Tsaritsa.

How could this rat before her possibly know about it?
